Shaving after a hair transplant is recommended only after 1 to 1.5 months.
When you undergo a hair transplant, the hair follicles transplanted to the recipient site need at least two weeks to get a firm hold and settle on the scalp.

Hence, it is recommended not to shave the donor area so that the long hairs in the donor area can protect the recipient area.
